What Am I Writing?
I wanted to start writing my paper last night and I had a writer's block. I know all about the war now but I'm thinking I have to research and find more information. I especially have to find more current information about the relationship between the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Since I'm arguing my topic, I have to get more data about U.S. foreign policies, how they apply to the rest of the world, etc... As I review my outline I have the beginning and the middle portion of my paper, now I just have to make sure my conclusion is strong and applies to everything I wrote from the introduction. It's nerve racking.

Outline for Research Paper
I've started breaking down my outline to submit on Friday. Today's class actually really helped me to start creating my outline. I have done outlines in the past, but what was different this time around was actually going over the different types of outlines in class and also creating one right after our class discussion. It was easier because my thoughts were freshly apparent based on what all of the students were explaining about the different types of outlines. So, (with the help of my classmate Jordan :0) I figured out that I want to use the traditional style of outlining for my paper. Thanks Jordan!! Professor Salamat was very funny when I became apprehensive about having questions in my subtopic categories!! Thank you for showing me: no questions, just ideas :-)

Finding my last sources for my bibliography
I started researching to see if I can find my last sources. I have been reading many different books about Spain, the U.S. gaining access to the Caribbean island of PR, and the history of Europe and Spain during the 1800's. It's alot of information to pick and choose from. I have started doing the first steps of my annotated bibliography and I've so far experienced that the citing is actually easier than writing my short summary. I had a feeling that writing the short summaries would be difficult for me because I tend to write LONG summaries!!
